History

The church was built in Austrian Baroque style between 1764-65 for the Roman Catholic community of Gyárváros (Factory town). Parochial duties were carried out by Franciscans until 1780, afterwards by the clergy of the Diocese of Csanád. On the occasion of the millennium of Hungary in 1896, it was decided to build a new church. The Millennium Church was completed at the turn of the century, and the old church was handed over to the Greek Catholic community. It was used by Orthodox Christians from 1949 to 1990, after the Greek Catholic Church was banned.
